[Top Documentary Films] Is there a white genocide occurring in South Africa? That's the conclusion reached by controversial alt-right activist and filmmaker Lauren Southern in her new feature-length documentary Farmlands.
The basis of the film is the country's complicated history with land ownership, and the hysteria that has arisen from these issues in recent times.
The crime rate in South Africa is disturbingly high. Dozens of protests are gathered on the streets every day, and municipal buildings and school houses are commonly burned to the ground. Since lawmakers passed a resolution that allows for the seizure and redistribution of land without compensation, there has been a spike in the murder of white farm owners in the region. These murders are described in graphic detail by crime scene personnel, activists in the area and relatives of the fallen.
The film accuses the government and law enforcement officials of fudging statistics and concealing the truth behind this slaughter. In defense of their practices, these institutions insist there is no evidence that these attacks are racially motivated.
During the course of the film, Southern stacks the deck against the country's "black economic empowerment laws". In one segment, she visits a squatter camp populated by white families who are destitute and forced to live without basic comforts and medical care. "There's no help for whites in South Africa," the camp land owner explains. Southern also points to the tens of thousands of minority whites who have fled the country, and the protests mounted in opposition to the farming issues that have gone unheeded by the government.
Southern and her film have been met by vociferous voices of dissent who claim that her message is motivated by thinly veiled racism. Her critics say her narrative is a cautionary rebuke to the end of apartheid, and a delirious warning call to westerners who are quickly becoming the new minority. Viewers can decide for themselves if the events and personal stories depicted in Farmlands are distastefully misleading or indicative of a larger epidemic of racially motivated violence.
[IsraelTimes] Journal du Dimanche staff end month-long strike with deal handing support to employees who leave the paper due to appointment of Geoffroy Lejeune, who has a history of antisemitism
Journalists at La Belle France’s sole dedicated Sunday newspaper announced Tuesday that they were halting one of the longest strikes in the recent history of French media, on the day a controversial editor aligned with the far right took up his post as editor-in-chief. Journal du Dimanche (JDD) staff said they were throwing in the towel, aware that their decision would mean that they would either have to leave the paper or work under its new leadership. The strike that started June 22 over the appointment of Geoffroy Lejeune, 34, as new editor-in-chief has caused the influential weekly to not publish six consecutive issues. The SDJ, the journalists’ association of the JDD, said that an agreement was reached with the paper’s owners, the media arm of French conglomerate Lagardere Group, for the strike to end. The union acknowledged staff "would not have won" a prolonged standoff with Lagardere.
Lejeune was until recently editor of the far-right weekly Valeurs Actuelles and endorsed far-right media commentator Eric Zemmour Continued on Page 49

[Shafaq News] The National Security Services (NSS) announced on Tuesday the dismantling of networks involved in suspicious financial activities and the seizure of over 14 million dollars before being smuggled.
The NSS’s spokesperson, Arshad al-Hakim, stated that "The NSS conducted an extensive campaign to pursue smugglers after intensifying intelligence efforts and field monitoring, leading to the apprehension of major smuggling networks comprising individuals engaged in suspicious financial and banking activities. They confessed to establishing fake companies to engage in commercial activities as a front for smuggling currency out of Baghdad."
He further revealed that "the operation was carried out by a specialized team from the NSS and after receiving evidence from the Anti-Money Laundering Office confirming the existence of the currency smuggling operation, a series of raids were conducted in various areas of Baghdad under the supervision of the Third Karkh Investigative Court, resulting in the arrest of 11 suspects who disclosed the main locations of money storage in the capital, Baghdad."
Moreover, he pointed out, "Over 14 million dollars and 5 billion dinars were seized, along with several different types of weapons."
[Shafaq News] An anonymous security source revealed on Tuesday the apprehension of an individual attempting to smuggle a staggering sum of 260,000 dollars and 140 million Iraqi dinars in the capital, Baghdad.
The source informed Shafaq News Agency that "under the supervision of Major Imad, a security force managed to arrest a person endeavoring to clandestinely transport a sum totaling 260,000 US dollars and 140 million Iraqi dinars, which his owner intended to smuggle concealed within his vehicle towards northern Iraq."
Elaborating further, the operation was successfully executed through sustained surveillance carried out by the "Currency Smuggling Unit" affiliated with the organized crime department, under the command of the aforementioned Major, within the jurisdiction of Taji heading towards northern Iraq.

I'd guess the Ambassador Airlines is pretty busy.
[AutoBlog] SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is officially here, and its arrival marks the return of Toyota’s legendary Land Cruiser nameplate after it took a few years off. If you were thinking this new Land Cruiser would just be a slight revision on the last one, then think again. The 2024 model is smaller, cheaper, hybrid-only and way more purposeful looking.
Its design is a massive departure from the last Land Cruiser and instead adopts elements from its earlier history. The squared-off body and upright stance is a timeless off-roader look, and we think it suits the new Land Cruiser quite well. Toyota made the new model 4.4 inches narrower and 1.2 inches shorter overall to improve its nimbleness off-road, and it looks dramatically smaller in person. Interestingly, there are two headlight designs, with one being a rectangular look reminiscent of the FJ62. Meanwhile, the "1958" (just below) and "First Edition" trims get round headlights.
Isn't that a Rover Defender in the graphic? Well, you're right! I guess it is.

...While in Saudi Arabia as a munitions storage supervisor I had my own vehicle, and it was a '91 Land Cruiser donated by the Japanese. If I could have figured out a way to smuggle it back in my hold baggage, I would have cheerfully done so.

The earlier generations of these were superb vehicles. If I could find one with the I-6, and not rusted out in the frame and body, I'd probably try to pick it up if I was in the right mood.
The last generation they sold was more of a soccer mom or prestige vehicle, requiring premium fuel and had horrible gas mileage (my old '79 one-ton does better), but REALLY nice inside and out. Not really a true off-roader. You could do it, but for the money I'd say no.
Newer one looks like they lost an inch of ground clearance and probably weighs a bit more than you would want in an off-roader vehicle, and the smaller stance exacerbates that.

Simply no gummint regulation applied to cars has anything to do with value, utility, reliability or performance. I will say seat belts and airbags are an exception to that.

While livin' in Booneville, the vineyard manager had an OG Toyota Cruiser for use mainly to get around on property and to the neighbors. Very capable vehicles.
